Avaya 7406 Digital Mobile Handset — Installation Guide
Chapter 1
About Avaya 7406 Digital Mobile Handset
The Avaya 7406 Digital Mobile Handset is a multiple-handset, single-base Digital Mobile
Handset. The Avaya 7406 digital mobile handset provides a fully-integrated mobility solution for
your business. The Avaya 7406 Digital Mobile Handset allows you to freely move around your
work space while on a call, and still maintain access to all your telephone system features.
The Avaya 7406 Digital Mobile Handset uses advanced digital frequency hopping spread
spectrum (FHSS) technology to provide a quality audio path over a 900 MHz radio link.
Establishing a call over a radio link is comparable to a wire line communication.
Radio range and coverage considerations
The effective operating radio range in your facility depends on the building construction and the
internal layout of the facility. Typically, a dense office or warehouse environment has an effective
operating radio range of 95 meters (300 feet). An open office environment enhances operating
radio ranges. Refer to “Provisioning the Avaya 7406 Digital Mobile Handset” on page 25.
Security of Conversation
Each base station has a unique Security Code (S.S. Code). All three handsets registered to the base
station must share the same Security Code. Each of the three handsets assigned to a base station
must also have a unique identification (Set I.D. 1, 2 or 3).
Density and Interference
For this system to be interference-free, install a maximum of two base stations and six handsets per
location. Each base station provides three independent time compression multiplexing (TCM) line
connections to the telephone system.
Each base station uses half of the Industrial Scientific Medical (ISM) band for its frequency
hopping channels. The dip switches on the base station allow you to assign the base station to use
either the lower half (902-915 Mhz) or the upper half (915.1-928 Mhz).
Each base station must use a separate ISM half band. For more information about setting the dip
switches, refer to “Installing the Base Station” on page 9.
If other devices operating on the ISM band interfere with the Avaya 7406 Digital Mobile Handset
base, the other half of the band may be used to try to minimize interference. In this situation, install
only one base station and three handsets per location.
Note: The Avaya 7406 Digital Mobile Handset is supported on all Avaya Norstar
systems (DR3 or higher) and on all Avaya Business Communications Manager
systems.

Chapter 1 About Avaya 7406 Digital Mobile Handset 7
Avaya 7406 Digital Mobile Handset — Installation Guide
Handset Overview
The handset automatically links with the base station by searching for the base station signal when
the following are completed:
• battery is charged
• base station and handset are powered
• handset identification is configured
• base station Security Code is assigned
Handset Signal Detection
You can monitor the handset signal strength while moving to different locations. The antenna/
signal strength and battery icons appear on the handset display.
When you move too far from the base station, the following occurs on the handset:
• the antenna/signal strength icon disappears
• ïïïïïïïïïïïïïïï message appears
• handset produces an intermittent beep
• handset may go into scanning mode
If the signal strength is weak, move back into range to stop the handset display messages and
warning tones.
If you go completely out of range during an active call, the call is automatically placed on hold.
For more information, refer to “Hold calls” on page 36. Retrieve a held call by selecting the
flashing red line button when you are back in range.
Note: In cases where the line button does not light when you move back into
range of the base station, press the intercom/line button that the call came in on, to
take the call off hold

Avaya 7406 Digital Mobile Handset — Installation Guide
Installing the Base Station
This section describes the base station and:
• how to mount the base station on a wall
• what programming is required before you connect the base station to your system
• how to connect the base station to your system
The Avaya 7406 Digital Mobile Handset system operates on the same principle as a two-way
radio. Therefore, the location of the base station affects the range of reception. The base station
should not be installed where radio waves are blocked or reflected, such as next to a filing cabinet.
For optimal performance, install the base station at least 2.4 meters (eight feet) above the floor and
at least 3.2 meters (ten and one half feet) apart from a second base station. Always position the
antenna at a 90° angle to the base station.
Base Station Features
This section illustrates the base station for the Avaya 7406 Digital Mobile Handset.

Handset Configuration
This section describes how to set up handsets on a base station. Note that there is one extra step for
setting up the first handset on a new base station.
Important First-time Installation Information
When performing the initial configurations on the handset, ensure that all the handsets you intend
to configure have fully-charged battery packs installed.
Since the handsets start scanning as soon as they are powered, you must set the handset ID #s first
when you configure the handset to avoid conflicts between handset signals and the possibility of
one set mirroring another.
If you install more than one base station on a system, ensure that you assign a unique Security code
to each base station. However, all base stations have the same three Handset ID numbers (1, 2, or
3), which identify the handset to the base station.
Identifying the Handsets to the System
Each of the three handsets registered to a base station share an identical Security code, but each
handset has a unique handset ID number of 1, 2, or 3.
The handset ID number the handset is assigned to maps back to the TCM/RJ-11 jack on the back
of the base station. The diagram below identifies which jack supports which handset ID number.
In turn, these numbers correspond to telephone records in the main system. In the system, these
records identify each telephone with a local number, referred to as a DN (directory number). Since
the records will be set up before you configure your handset, check with your system administrator
to determine which local has been assigned to which port. From there, you can identify which
Handset ID number should be assigned to each handset.
• Once the first handset has been configured, remove the battery pack from that handset and
place it in the second handset.
• Repeat for each handset you are configuring. The battery pack can be left in the last handset.
• After the final handset has been configured, fully-charged battery packs then can be placed
into the other handsets.
Note: When a base station is relocated, the Handset ID number follows the set
DN (system telephone record), if the Set relocation feature is on.

Chapter 1 About Avaya 7406 Digital Mobile Handset 17
Avaya 7406 Digital Mobile Handset — Installation Guide
Assigning the Handset to the Base Station
When you assign the first handset to a base station, you must send the security code to the base
station. For subsequent handsets, you only need to identify the security code on the handset itself.
This is explained in detail in later sections.
This is the general process for setting up a Avaya 7406 Digital Mobile Handset:
• Identify the handset to a unique Handset ID # (1, 2, or 3)
• Change the default password for selecting a handset ID (default: 000000)
• Assign a Security code (S.S. code)
• Send the Security code from the handset to the base station
• Assign the ring type
• Assign the ringer volume
• Assign the language that appears on the handset display
Using the Handset Display Buttons
The Avaya 7406 Digital Mobile Handset has a three-line display.
The three display buttons located under the display are used to interact with the handset menus and
the feature code messages that appear on the display.
•
The first line of the display shows
handset messages and menu items.
• The second line displays button
labels in capital letters.
• The third line displays the antenna/
signal strength icon and the battery
charge icon.
Configuring the First Handset to a Base Station
When you configure a handset to a new base station, you must ensure the base station receives the
assigned security code. For subsequent handsets, the security code must be identical, but it does
not need to be re-assigned to the base station.
Other settings are the same for all handsets.
Note: The handset ID #, which gets assigned to each handset, matches up to
TCM/RJ-11 jack on the back of the base. station. Ask your system administrator
which handset ID maps to which set DN on the system.
Note: Sending the security code to the base station is only performed for the first
handsets. For subsequent handsets, you need only identify the security code on the
handset.
